Sue - mid month

I printed out the image quite large then colored it in with Copics. I then scanned it and took it into Craft Artist, where I added it to a background all made digitally.

GD reminder makes for June 2017


For this card I have used a digi from sponsor Bugaboo called Winbird Snowman
I have used a die with cross stitches and colored with copics. I gave the bird's hat a fluffy rim and a ponpon as fisnishing touch. DP is CraftEmotions'.

Sue June

Ed the Turkey coloured with Copics. I ebossed the background with a tree folder as it just didn't look right plain. The fence was cut on my Silhouetteand added as without he looked like he was floating in mid air! The trees are Tim Holtz dies cut out in white and sponged with green ink.

Diane June makes

My first make is using MiniBirdsCake4 from Limited Runs. I thought this was a great image for cards for young and old, boy and girl. Coloured with Specrum Noir pens.

 
                 

My second card is made using BirdTrioSummer from Bugaboo Stamps. This is a very Quirky Bird image and I love it! I collected together my chosen pens to colour the image....and realised that the file also comes with a pre coloured image. That used all the colours I had chosen so I used the pre coloured image. I took it into Craft Artist, resized and printed several copies. A bit of cutting and matting later and I think I have a really "happy" card. Would be good for Birthday, Get Well, Thank you...anything really.

The image I have used is Minibirds - tea. I have colored with copics and die cut with a stitched die and added some sequins. The sentiment is part of the digi, but as I wanted to use it on a tag, I made the sentiment in Word, printed it out and used a stitched label die. I put some Glossy Accents on the birds' eyes.

Art is not about perfection, but about creating. I try to use different materials and see what I come up with. I think a blue and gold butterfly is different and unusual. I definitely like the unusual!

 I forgot how challenging it is to take photos of shaker cards, but they are such fun to make and receive that I couldn’t resist.

Tinz - MidMay

I have used Skully Poe from Delicious Doodles to create my reminder card.
I coloured the image with Promarkers and layered on card matching the books the head is sitting on. I layered onto a Papermania geometric base card and then added a contrsting sentiment sticker and some red diamantes. My inspiration for this card was 'Witch Doctor' by The Cartoons.

Diane - Mid May



Using a digi chosen from our second sponsor Delicious Doodles I have made a twist and pop card. I love doing this shape card. As soon as I saw the lovely Iris image on the Delicious Doodles site I was immediately reminded of many a day playing in my Auntie's garden when I was small. Only a small garden, but she always had lots of Iris plants underneath her lounge window. I loved them and have Iris in my garden now because of that memory. Hope you like the card.
